What constitutes as an emergency?

Your safety and security is our top priority. We are on standby for emergencies 24/7. An emergency is a situation that poses an immediate risk to health, life, property, or the environment. Such situations are usually unexpected and require immediate action. However, not everything constitutes as an emergency. The following scenarios are what Alberta regards as an emergency.

Our technicians carry an extensive range of spare parts and will attempt to reinstate your alarm system to full working order. Where this is not possible, your system will be safely shut down, and you may arrange a visit to repair the problem later.

*In most cases, especially for wireless alarms, batteries will usually last around two years depending on activations thus to ensure the optimum performance of your system, we highly recommend a regular maintenance schedule. For more information on our affordable maintenance packages please call on 21 443538.

* Changing your phone/internet service provider if your Alberta system utilizes a land line, changes to your telephone service could impact the system. If you have a telephone technician visiting your home, be sure to test the system before he leaves to ensure it is working properly.

*Safety Warning: We strongly advise that you do not carry system works or repairs yourself. Burglar alarm control panels may operate using lethal mains voltages. External ringers and sirens with flashing strobes may use a high voltage even when they appear to be inactive, and when they are not ringing or flashing.
